Overexposure to UVB rays can cause sunburns of the skin and eyes, as well as other ocular conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Since our eyes are exposed to both UVA and UVB radiation, protection against these harmful rays is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UVC rays<\/strong> are completely absorbed by the Earth\u2019s atmosphere and therefore do not pose any risk to our ocular health.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Why is UV exposure harmful?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Overexposure to UVB radiation <i>over a short period of time <\/i>such as a day at the beach, can cause photokeratitis, or a &#8220;sunburn of the eye&#8221;. This type of sunburn can cause temporary, but painful symptoms such as red eyes, light sensitivity, a feeling of something in the eye, and excessive tearing. Aside from the temporary pain and discomfort, photokeratitis generally does not cause any long term ocular damage.<\/p>\n<p><b>However, an accumulation of UV exposure over the span of many years can cause severe ocular diseases such as cataracts or macular degeneration, and threaten partial or total loss of vision<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>UVA and UVB radiation pose a great risk to ocular health because their radiation is actually absorbed by the eye\u2014UVB rays are generally absorbed by the cornea and lens, causing damage to these tissues, while \u00a0 UVA rays penetrate deeper into the eye, causing retinal damage.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Is UV exposure only a threat on sunny days?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Although many people think that sunglasses are only needed when the weather is sunny, eye doctors say otherwise!<\/p>\n<p>UV rays reflect off of many surfaces such as snow, water, sand, and even buildings! Snow actually reflects up to 94 percent of UVB rays, compared to water which reflects up to 8 percent. Reflected UV light is just as harmful as direct UV exposure\u2014 responsible for <i>50 percent<\/i> of the UV radiation we are exposed to!<\/p>\n<p>Many people are also unaware that sunglasses are necessary even when there is an overcast. According to research, on days when high clouds are present, the UV index is just as high as when the sky is clear!<\/p>\n<p>However, it is safe to go out without sunglasses when the weather is rainy, foggy, or there is a presence of low clouds, as UV radiation is greatly reduced in those conditions.<\/p>\n<p>UV exposure is at its highest between 2pm and 4pm\u2014 when 39.8 percent of Americans are outdoors.
